Dog Tag Types and Quantity
Single vs. Double Tags
When you pick out an id tag for your dog, you get to choose between single and double tags. Each type has its own benefits. A single dog tag works well for most pets. You can break it in half if you ever need to prove ownership or share information. Double tags give you two identical tags, so if one falls off, you still have a backup. Both types use strong, corrosion-resistant metal, so they last a long time.
Here’s a quick look at how they compare:

Pros and Cons
You also have a few different styles to consider for your id tag. Some tags are portable, so you can update your contact info easily if you travel. Others come with a silencer, which keeps things quiet—great if you have a baby at home. Secure collar tags stay put and rarely get lost, but you might not want them if you need to update your custom info often.
